Any advice of making friends on nostr? I feel like I am posting into a void because I don’t tend to get any responses about anything other than bitcoin. My usage of hashtags haven’t seemed to help so I’m wondering if it’s a relay selection issue. Or maybe there just aren’t that many people here interested in mech kb, Nix, fountain pens, or Japanese.

Not really a social media person but the freedom tech aspect of nostr pulled me in, so maybe I’m missing something fundamental.

could be relays. Besides that—- just hashtags and following interesting people

Thank you for your response. Part of the problem might be that I mostly follow bitcoiners lol. In my defense, I haven’t found people in my other interest range to follow. As for relay selection, do you know of a resource for relay selection based on interests?

when i joined i felt like i just spoke with bitcoiners 😂 but once you get the feel of the space you’ll find your ground. You can take a peek at nostr dot watch to find some relays to connect to ⚡️

Thanks for the tip about nostr.relay. Do you think it’s worth it at this time to subscribe to paid relays? I was thinking maybe it could boost the signal of my messages to be more likely to find people with similar interests.

nostr dot watch!!! i personally have not used a paid relay so I wouldn’t know the benefits for it.
